Tips
• The range of focus, an important effect of the
aperture, is called the depth of field. The depth
of field gets shallower as the aperture is opened,
and deeper as the aperture is closed. Use the
aperture creatively to obtain the desired effect in
your photography.
You can use this if you do not want to
increase the value by AGC (automatic gain
control) or the automatic ISO sensitivity
adjustment.
Gain and ISO sensitivity are set separately.
